[PATCH] Remove uncontested renamed files during merge.

Prior to 65ac6e9c3f47807cb603af07a6a9e1a43bc119ae we deleted a file from the working directory during a merge if the file existed in the working directory before the merge started but was renamed by the branch which is being merged in. This broke in 65ac63 as git-merge-recursive did not actually update the working directory on this uncontested rename case.

 The same repository that spawned my 'Bug in merge-recursive in
 virtual commit corner case' thread discovered this feature of
 git-merge-recursive today.
 I'm not sure this is the right way to fix the issue, but it does
 appear to fix the problem and passes both the existing tests and
 this new one.
